first thing they are gonna try to do is give you blue book on it and total it! make sure you have and pics during and after the resto... if it was appraised or won shows collect that info...

you need to be able to show it wasn't just a beater car... cuz thats what they are gonna try to do...

If you have all the receipts, you should be able to make them pay more. It's the insurance companie's responsibility to get your car back to the condition it was in before it was hit...if you can prove how much money you put into it.

Glad your son was ok.

I got hit on my 10 speed once in Detroit. Same thing, the guy said that, "I came out of nowhere." Are you kidding me? Freakin' Lance Armstrong cannot come out of nowhere on a bike IF YOU WERE PAYING ATTENTION!
You cannot "come out of nowhere" when riding a bike. This must be the new standard catch phrase for the guilty parties who cause accidents...

Good luck dealing with the insurance companies. That is gonna suck.

I hope you can fix the car like it was before it was hit.
